Owen Danoff (born November 3, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter from Washington, D.C. He was a contestant on season 10 of NBC's The Voice where he reached the top 11.
Owen Danoff was exposed to music from an early age. His father is Grammy award winner Bill Danoff, a songwriter and original member of the Starland Vocal Band. As a child, he was immersed in his family’s musical culture and can recall joining his father onstage at shows. At the age of 15, Danoff wrote and self-produced his first original song using an audio recorder given to him that same day. He attended Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C.. After high school, Danoff studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston, graduating with a degree in film scoring.
Owen Danoff returned to the D.C. music scene after college, performing at venues such as the Birchmere, the Kennedy Center and the 9:30 Club. In 2012, he released an EP titled ‘Never Trust a Man’. Following the EP release, Danoff was an artist in residence at Strathmore’s Institute for Artistic and Professional Development from 2012-2013. During that time, he ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to help fund his full-length debut album. He released ‘Twelve Stories’ in May 2014. The album is a collection of his original music and led Danoff to three Washington Area Music Awards (Wammies) wins. The awards were for best Pop/Rock Recording, Pop/Rock Instrumentalist, and Pop/Rock Vocalist. In 2014, he also released a single titled “Never Been Kissed”.
